Big News from the Big Leagues: Citi Field Selects Boingo as Cellular & Wi-Fi Provider

For fans heading to Citi Field, the fan experience is about more than great baseball—it’s about staying connected. Whether it’s mobile ticketing at the gates, snapping and sending photos with friends, or checking player stats between innings, seamless connectivity is part of today’s gameday expectation. Now, that experience at Citi Field is getting a major boost. 

The New York Mets have selected Boingo Wireless to modernize cellular and Wi-Fi connectivity throughout Citi Field, bringing next generation connectivity to one of the most famed venues in professional sports. 

Why connectivity matters for modern stadiums 

Stadiums are some of the most challenging environments for wireless networks. Tens of thousands of fans, massive concrete structures, and simultaneous usage create pressure that legacy wireless systems can’t handle. That can lead to overloaded networks, slow apps, and frustration for both fans and staff. 

But with the right infrastructure, connectivity becomes a competitive advantage: 

• Fan experience: Realtime sharing, mobile ticketing, concessions apps, interactive experiences 

• Operational strength: Digital signage, security systems, and mobile workforce tools that keep the stadium running smoothly 

Bringing next gen connectivity to Citi Field 

Boingo’s deployment at Citi Field is designed to deliver a converged, neutral host network that supports both cellular and Wi-Fi, including coverage for Tier One carriers. This advanced architecture will be built to handle the scale, density, and performance demands of large-venue environments—for fans, staff and operational systems. 

“Our mission is to continue to deliver a first-class fan experience at Citi Field, and that requires world-class connectivity. Boingo brings deep expertise in stadium connectivity with an impressive track record in ballparks and other large stadiums and arenas. Their advanced wireless infrastructure will provide the speed, reliability, and capacity needed to keep fans connected and engaged from the moment they arrive.” 

Oscar Fernandez, New York Mets Senior Vice President of Technology
